I'm interested in what folks think of the ride (that's you, vic!)

I haven't been very impressed with the stock springs... They are not damp enough.

Looks great Vic...how dark is your window tint?

I see you have the pano roof, did you match it to that...or is it darker?
3/4 rear shot needed...please!

I am running 20% but it looks darker in that pic (poor quality cell shot). Let me see if I have a 3/4 rear taken, if not Ill do tomorrow.

Vic55, Have you or do you intend to space your wheels out closer to the fender? or do you intend to keep the stock Tornado wheels with the stock mount?

I ordered a set of 15mm spacers (5x108) to make the look more flush.

Buick, I just always chose 20% whether I have a pano or not. Just my call I guess- here is a quick cell shot today. The pano is darker almost as if its black glass.

OK...from that angle taken outside,you can see where the black pack window trim is darker than the tint whereas on that last pic taken inside,you couldn't.

Car looks great and the drop...while ever so slight...really make the car sit perfectly on the wheels.

Can I trouble you for one more rear 3/4 angle just up a bit higher so I can better see the rear glass...pretty please,lol!

Thanks Vic...I'd like to get an idea of what 20% looks against the pano roof, I believe my guy does 18% but he can get 20% if need be.

Thanks again for your efforts...!

Full Vehicle set is going to be $695.00 - we're not quite ready to go on sale just yet. Vic is going to put a few more miles on the clock to ensure they are well integrated for all conditions.

We also have another individual with a V8 Roadster who is doing the same, there are a couple of differences between the V8 Coupe and the other engine options so we'll sign off on all variants pretty soon and then we'll be ready to take pre-orders for our first delivery of stock.

Where'd you order them from? & I guess you aren't concerned about any rubbing?

Thanks. I'm wondering if all the Jaguar wheels have the same measurement.

Can you elaborate? Width? Bolt Pattern?

Meaning I have the Gyrodine wheels. Would the same spacers work for them?
